Blending of Planes: I am leisurely farming

The next day, the spring rain continued to fall without any sign of stopping, and it knocked on the roof and window frames of the farm.

Amber lay under the eaves of the farm, curled up, and stared with interest at the splashes of water dripping from the eaves in the low-lying mud pit.

Just then, the roar of a car broke the tranquility of the farm. A black sedan slowly stopped in front of Sean's farm, blocked by the muddy dirt road.

The car door opened, and two villagers dressed in coarse cloth got out of the car first. They held umbrellas carefully, fearing that the rain would wet the middle-aged man next to them.

The man was wearing a neat suit, a neat tie, and a pair of shiny leather shoes that stood out against the muddy ground.

"Woo~Woof!" Amber was the first to notice something was wrong. It immediately turned over and jumped up. Its drooping ears immediately stood up straight, and it barked at the group of strangers with its mouth wide open.

Its intuition told it that these uninvited guests might cause trouble to the farm.

Hearing Amber's cry, Sean, who was making fertilizer in the shed behind the house, immediately put down his work and walked out of the back door to the front of the house to check the situation.

"Is my dear nephew Sean here? What a great event! We have many distinguished guests!" As the words were spoken, accompanied by the barking of dogs, one of them broke away from the group, tiptoed over the puddle and came to Sean's house and shouted.

"Go away! You are an ignorant beast. You don't know that a distinguished guest has come!" He threatened Amber beside him as if in response to a stressful situation, waving the umbrella in his hand to drive it away.

The other one picked up bricks nearby and laid them in the puddle, clearing a path for the middle-aged man.

The two villagers were dressed as the backbone of the local Pelican Town residents who worked at the Joja Mart and the Fertilizer Factory.

Could it be that the person they were obviously treating with such respect was the head of the Joja Group here—Maurice?

What are they doing here? I'm lucky I didn't bother them, Sean wondered.

"Amber! Come back!" Sean finally opened the door. "Who are these people?"

"My dear nephew Sean, you don't even recognize your uncle. I am your uncle Leifu. It's true that after old Oak passed away, everyone has become a lot more distant from each other." The man in front of him who called himself Leifu was making random connections.

Sean frowned, remained silent with some disgust and didn't respond.

"Mr. Mo, please come in quickly. Don't get wet in the rain outside." Seeing that Sean didn't respond, Laifu didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he greeted Morris, who had just arrived under the eaves, with a flattering face.

"Come, this is our nephew Sean's farm, please come in!" After saying that, he wanted to welcome Morris into Sean's cabin.

"Raifu, how do you do things? You haven't even asked the master's wishes yet." Morris said slowly.

"Yes, yes!" Leif nodded and bowed, then stepped aside.

Having said that, although he felt a little disgusted, he still had to give face to the three people and welcomed them in.

"Mr. Mo, please take a seat!" As soon as he entered the room, Laifu hurriedly pulled out a chair and showed his courtesy to Morris, not looking like a guest at all.

"Brother Sean, you are the host. How can the guests sit down first? Please come and have a seat!" Morris was busy, and the two of them took the initiative of the right to speak in unison.

Sean watched coldly, wondering what was going on. I watched your performance quietly and then sat down.

Both parties sat down, and two men stood behind Morris.

"Good morning, Mr. Sean." Morris took a business card from his subordinate and handed it to him: "I am Morris, the head of the Joja Chamber of Commerce."

"Mr. Morris, what can I do for you?" Sean took the business card, glanced at it and asked calmly.

"It's like this. Our Joja Chamber of Commerce is very interested in your farm and wants to buy it." Morris said straight to the point.

Sean was slightly stunned. So you are interested in my farm. You have good taste. It’s a pity that you chose the wrong person.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Morris, but I refuse. There's no need to discuss this topic anymore." Sean refused firmly.

Morris' smile froze. He didn't expect Sean to reject him so bluntly.

"Sean, you may not be aware of the strength of our Joja Chamber of Commerce. We own the world's largest supermarket chain, with abundant capital and resources. As long as you are willing to sell the farm, we can offer you very favorable conditions." Another person behind Morris couldn't help but speak out.

"That's right. You know the situation in Pelican Town. There's not much use in having such a big farm. We might as well sell it and use the money to go back to the city and enjoy life." Leif was also encouraging.

"Brother Sean, please think about it carefully. The price can be negotiated." Morris argued.

However, Sean was unmoved. He shook his head and said, "Mr. Morris, I'm sorry, but I've made up my mind. I won't sell this farm under any circumstances."

After hearing Sean's answer, Morris's face turned a little ugly. The follower behind him couldn't help but say, "Sean, don't be ungrateful! It's an honor for you that our Mr. Morris likes your farm! Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit!"

"You have no right to speak!" Morris shouted to the man behind him, "I'm sorry that my men were a little impulsive."

Sean watched them playing the good cop and the bad cop tricks and laughed in his heart: "This is my farm. I don't welcome people who disrespect me. If you don't have anything else to do, please leave."

Morris took a deep breath, waved his hand to dismiss the two henchmen, then stood up and forced a smile in a final attempt: "Mr. Sean, I respect your decision. However, I think you have too one-sided an understanding of our group. Our Joja Chamber of Commerce is not a company that only values ​​profit. We also pay attention to the development of the community and the lives of the residents. If you are willing, we can work together to develop this virgin land of Stardew Valley."

Sean stood up and replied, "Thank you for your suggestion, Mr. Morris. It's getting late, so I won't keep you for dinner. Amber! Show you out!"

Amid Amber's howling, the three of them walked out of the farm in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

"This kid looks down on us so much, why don't we teach him a lesson?" the follower said angrily.

"Have you forgotten our main purpose now? Tell me what it is!" Morris asked lightly.

"It's to win the hearts of the residents of Pelican Town!" Leif, who was standing by, saw the opportunity to show off and immediately answered.

"Don't create any unnecessary trouble before achieving this goal, understand?" Morris warned the two.

Opening the car door, Morris lifted his muddy leather shoes and placed them on the vehicle's exit step. Livermore immediately took out a tissue and bent down to wipe them.

"Why hasn't Pierre's grocery store closed down yet? We have to eliminate all competitors." Morris turned and asked another person.

"Mo! Mr. Mo, give me some more time, it will be almost done!" the man replied nervously.

"We must speed up the process. If it doesn't work, we can give a bigger discount. The money we invest now will be earned back from this group of people sooner or later. Don't you understand?"

"Yes!"

In the rain, the black car started slowly and disappeared at the end of the road.
